4 Apr
Summary
- Rohit Sharma leads IPL 2026 run charts with 113 runs.
- Mumbai Indians posted 162/6 against Delhi Capitals.

Rohit Sharma surged to the top of the IPL 2026 run charts during Mumbai Indians' clash with Delhi Capitals in Delhi. His aggressive 35 off 26 balls, including five fours and a six, propelled him to 113 runs across two matches, surpassing Cooper Connolly.
Mumbai Indians finished their innings at 162 for 6 after being put in to bat. The total, while competitive, is within reach for Delhi on the surface. Early wickets kept Mumbai in check, but Suryakumar Yadav provided stability with a 51-run knock off 36 balls.
Despite Sharma's start and late contributions from the lower order adding 45 runs in the final five overs, Mumbai's innings struggled to break free. Delhi's bowling, led by Mukesh Kumar's early two wickets for 26 runs, was disciplined, with T Natarajan also effective at the death.
